Pro-government fighters, backed up by the Syrian Air Force, are preparing for a last push in order too clear the militant-held pocket in the desert area east of Damascus.
US-backed militant groups still control Tolul Dhers, Tolul Haliwa, Tolul Raghila, the AbuGhanim Mount and the Safa Volcanic Field. The area of Ruhba remains contested.
Earlier this week, the Syrian Army, the National Defense Forces (NDF), Hezbollah and othe pro-govenrment units secured the areas of Jaligm, Kharbat Raqaba, Abu Khashaba, the Jarin Mount, the Um Atn Mount and Kharbat Ruhba.
